Agrineer - Campaign for new WRF/ETo geo sector set
This is a (future) crowd-funding campaign to extend
the geographical reach of our applications.
Interested stakeholders in agricultural water management
can contribute at
Kickstarter.
Background
Agrineer.org's
GDC
and
SME
applications are driven by data generated by the
Weather, Research, and Forecast (
WRF )
model program running on our computers.
Current sector area size is 564km x 564km with a ~3 km
pixel resolution. We currently implement 10 sectors which
span roughly half of the western United States. Visit
the wiki page
here
for a map of current sectors and more details on the WRF
implementation.
Motivation
Our goal for this campaign is to cover the remainder of the
western United States with another set of 10 sectors. When
completed, we will be launching similar campaigns to cover
other drought stricken regions, extending the geographical reach
of the GDC and SME applications.
